If you don't drink or have never been drunk, why?
Scroll to see replies
I've tried alcohol before but I've never had a proper drink, simply because I've not wanted to. I may do eventually but I don't ever want to be drunk, I've seen what it makes people do and I don't get why people think that's fun.

If you don't drink or have never been drunk, why? Are you curious what its like to be drunk? If you have drank alcohol before but never been drunk why have you never gone the extra step? And for those of you who don't for religious reasons do you wish you could try it? Do you have any questions about drinking?
Remember, drinking and being drunk doesn't necessarily mean going clubbing and being sexually promiscuous. You could just sit at home putting away vodka shots while your family sit around you and some guy from social services goes on about an intervention or something...

I'm underaged and if I was of legal age and is on a party where you get drunk, I'm more than happy to laugh at what other drunkards do than getting myself drunk

Yes alcohol does. I don't get drunk the second I drink alcohol, it takes quite a few. Logic.
Depends on the drink! And how much I've ate and slept. I've had drinks go straight to my head. That's pretty fun

You don't need to do them. The categorical imperative to live exists only in the mind

i think getting drunk means to escape from real life.
I get drunk and have fun with my friends. What's more real than your friends?

I'm underage. Yes. My questions: Is it worth it, do you guys/lasses just drink as an excuse to do socially unacceptable actions as you're under the influence?
You're underage? You mean, you're less than 5 years old?
I drink because I find there is a greater variety of alcoholic drinks I enjoy compared to the standard 'fizzy pop' or just plain water. But I occasionally drink because it helps me to forget how uncomfortable I am in a number of social situations which I would nevertheless like to at least experience. Unfortunately, when sober I can't stop thinking about how shallow it all seems, so I drink just enough to suppress that for a few hours.
I would still never do anything social unacceptable, and certainly never anything to hurt anyone else. I don't like it when people blame alcohol for poor behaviour; it's always your responsibility (unless you're drugged or whatnot) if you don't limit your intake and you know you're not a nice drunk.

There is a big difference between trace and being drunk. I shouldn't have to explain this.. Facepalm..
Like I said the tipsy bit a few posts ago..

Like I said. If you don't have more fun when 'drunk', you're clearly not drunk. Alcohol affects us all the same.
Or you think your body is different to everyone elses in that alcohol has less of an effect on you?
Translation = I've had 2/3 pints then got bored on nights out
I really just have no interest in drinking and I guess I never joined in when all my friends started and haven't felt compelled to since. I can enjoy myself without it and after witnessing so many nights with people ending up on the floor/throwing up/crying/unconscious it makes it all even less appealing. I don't know if maybe I'd enjoy myself at parties a bit more if I did drink but tbh I enjoy myself anyway and don't end up having any lows or regrets or headaches in the morning!
I also do believe alcohol has some degree of placebo effect. For one thing, I feel a surge of confidence from simply having a cup in my hand at parties, regardless of what's in it.

Same reason I've never tried meth or coke. I don't need it.

Those drinks can be nice (but I wouldn't know where to start with the different wine types, I prefer white though).
Cocktails are a good choice too, again I'd feel clueless ordering it, do you just keep it simple or...?
Another thing, does it depend on what type of fruity tastes you like?
Hope you don't mind the questions!

To start all you need to know is there's red and there's white
There are classic cocktails like the martini and cosmopolitan, more modern, less sophisticated ones like Sex on the Beach a Purple Rain and some really foul ones I've seen in clubs called things like Screaming Orgasm and Skull F*cked. Try the middle type
The taste of alcohol doesn't really correspond to the fruit it's made out of very clearly.
I like questions

Because I don't need to be drunk
It's not about necessity. You didn't need to post a comment in this thread, but you did.
I've just never fancied it really, but it may be because I like chemistry and I've been around ethanol and alcohols and smelling that in drinks seems odd to me cos I think of it as a chemical if that makes sense? I sometimes wonder what it's like to be drunk but I think of hangovers and how awful they sound and it puts me right off. Also I'm striving to have a perfect liver so that's why I'm not planning on taking up drinking lol

I've been drunk and don't like it that much in comparison to just being tipsy.. I've been saying this from the start. How is that so hard to understand?

Eatin's cheatin' mate...
I come from a slightly different perspective, I have been drunk a couple of times and now don't excessively drink mainly because it's the worst thing ever. I get horrific mood swings before throwing up, falling asleep and remembering everything the next morning. That was almost 3 years ago. I do have a drink now, but limit myself as I really don't care for the effects of alcohol, I just enjoy the taste of a good cider
